Elise PaschenPoetry Speaks Who I Am: 100 Poems of Discovery, Inspiration, Independence, and Everything Else for Teens (A Poetry Speaks Experience, Includes CD)

This is an anthology I needed for a 7th grade class I am teaching. I did not want to spend a lot of money because I may not be teaching 7th grade next semester. (I'm an online teacher!) I am always a little leery about ordering used books, but this one literally looked new. I am very happy with this purchase and will be keeping it regardless of what classes I will be teaching in the future.

Purchased for 14 year old granddaughter and she truly loved it and always has it with her.

Purchased book for grand daughter who loves to write and express herself. This book helped capture and open her mind to her creative side in writing now she’s understands the power of a statement. Recommend book for anyone who enjoys expression through words.

Great book! Got it die my 13 year old daughter’s birthday gift.Would be nice if the words are bigger.

11 year old loves it. Immediately wrote a beautiful poem. Admires Maria Tallchief and loved receiving a gift by her daughter.

This book is full of classroom-appropriate poems students can read when learning how to write poetry. Of the several books I purchased, this book I use the most in my classroom.

Content was good but, Pages were missing!! My daughter couldn’t complete her homework.

I bought this book as a resource for my poetry unit. It has a good variety of old and modern poems with various themes.
